The Workbench Bistro

Fuss free experience at the workbench bistro, atmosphere was welcoming, price of the food are reasonable. food taste great as well. also it was easy to make reservation through quandoo.

Good food by the community. Just at the cafe type. When there for a quick lunch , ordered. Was not disappointed with the burger and the ice cream.

service was good. food was delish. overall good place to dine

Purple Sweet Potato Waffles with salted caramel ice is the highlight of the dinner. Rest of the dishes are acceptable but a little too salty.

food n environment is good! will visit again :)

Great food , good service. Worth a try as dishes are quite innovative and tasty. The waffles and pastas are great. Space rather constraint though.

A local place in the nebourhood. Providing dishes with a unquie touch. The ice cream selection that they have there is very good as well.

While the chicken wings were tasty, overall the food is a bit overpriced, I can get better value for my money at a neighboring Italian restaurant. Staff were also not very friendly. Wasn’t impressed when I came here a few years ago, but decided to give it a chance again. Sadly, the same impression remains.

The potatoe wedges with nacho cheese is provides plentiful for just an appetizer. The pastas incomparison is small in portion as a main. The ambience is good and the food tastes good. Didn't get to try the burgers or waffles which seem to be their pride. Maybe next time.

Wide variety from snacks, main course and desserts. Nice food with generous amount of ingredients. Great place to chill and have gathering with friends. Affordable price with no gst and service charge. Thumbs up!

The place is nice and the food is not bad. Love the garlic fries. Salted egg pasta is nice but too much of it will make you sick of it fast. Coffee is pretty good. The waffles look good but didn't had an opportunity to try it as the fries and pasta is enough to finish you on the spot.

2nd time here... food is really good and service good too... the waffles and ice cream was yummy and the overall food pricing is reasonable!

Ordered for a waffle with macha ice cream as a topping but the macha was mixed with mint flavour. I think they did not clean it properly before scoop.

Service was abit slow and apparently shop is quite understaffed. Wished that the purple sweet potato had abit more flavour and ice cream could also be improved.

Nice food. Good variety of meat items but only 1 fish item, would be food to have fish burger! The salted egg wings is great! Drinks seem to be on the steep side but there us freeflow of plain water. Restaurant’s ventilation not very good. Serving plates not ideal as food will fall out easily and not easy to move around.

Very disappointing. It indeed made a memorable night for me and my loved one for our special night, but all of those were upsetting. The whole area was stuffed with non-ventilated air, fumes of cooking, food and unavoidable sweaty smell. I approached the staff, and they claim the air-con was broken down. It killed all my appetite, and looking at my partner who was keep on sweating and even turn on his portable fan to get some least air was really pissing me off. I suggested to change my table to the outdoor's after a customer left, and the fan which was operating above my head was not moving. I saw the staff who failed to turn on the air-con for me searching in the power source box for a remote control and seems failed to turn on the fan. With that helpless to just move out from that environment, I couldn't be even bothered to carry my plates and glasses to the table outside when I heard one of the girls shouting in Chinese to her colleague, "THE FAN BROKEN DOWN ALREADY, WHY? SHE GOT ASK TO OPEN MERH??". Your kind staffs cleaned the table only at the moment I mentioned to change my table. The ragged table cleaning cloth was then left on my eating table, throughout my dinner. Somebody did collect the plates from my table in the middle, but the cloth was still there. Up to till something maybe, inspire one of your girls to take it away from my table, then I don't need to tolerate the smells of the cloth while talking to my partner. The food was something that I didn't even want to mention. We put down our forks after eating 1/2 of our portions each, where the fish and chips that we ordered was barely cooked. Judging at your very failing service, I was so upset that I didn't even care to bring this up to the staff. Thanks to one of your staff who just have a HI-BYE sort of chatting with her friend or just a passer-by, I was INFORMED quite in a purpose way that your good restaurant who supposed to be a cosy casual dining place is not even forking out an amount of SGD3000.00 to fix an air-con compressor of yours, and therefore "CUSTOMERS COMPLAINED" at quite a volume of her voice in front of my table. I was deeply impressed by you guys to fail your customers for that amount of money for amendments, to put your customers' comfort at the lowest priority. My first and my last visit. Very disappointing.

Snacks like fries were great. Mains such as fish n chips, pulled pork burger was so-so. Fish was frozen type, not fresh and have definitely tasted better pulled pork burger. Perhaps to reduce amount of bbq sauce for the burger, and the pork came in tough chunks of meat..

Bistro is a little small but does have decent selection of food choices. We had the Aglio Olio with Smoked Duck, Fish & Chips and the Garlicky Honey Paprika Wings. There's only 3 pieces of smoked duck in the Aglio Olio, feels that it's a little stingy. The linguine is done al dente and the level of spiciness is good for me (something on the spicier side). The Garlicky Honey Paprika Wings is of good portion but I find the batter a little too thick and it becomes hard when it becomes cold. Sauce is good thou. Fish & Chips is good, 2 rather big pieces with a layer of fries with paprika. We had waffle with 2 scopes of ice cream, the ice cream selection is consider good for a small bistro. We wanted to try their signature purple sweet potato waffle but it is out of stock so we ended up ordering the Red & Blue Velvet instead. It has this slightly crispy outer and a dense bread-like texture as a whole and sandwiched between the waffle quarters are melted marshmallows. There is no distinct taste difference between the 2 coloured waffle thou the lady did mentioned about the flavour (which I didn't register). Overall IT is still consider good.

Nice environment ... nice to hand out and chill w friends from the busy street ... nice food .. friendly staffs ... :) :) :)

The food was good. No Fuss. The staff was friendly. Menu pricing was decent. The place was a bit small. Order and pay and the counter.

Cozy ambience and the staff working there are very patient and friendly! I like their purple waffle haha

easy to book, user friendly, fuss free. experience at the workbench bistro is good, atmosphere was welcoming, price of the food are reasonable. food taste great

Nice little cafe in the heartlands. Food is lovely and reasonably priced. The waffles are really nice and you can taste the purple sweet potatoes. Will be there again to try the other stuff

Small place with good food and polite staff. A variety of western food. Great price with discounts. Will visit again if have the chance to.

Food and drink are great however are just slightly tad more expensive compared to other cafe. The place is well located in the central area.

Unique purple sweet potato waffle, loved the taro ice cream. Don't really like the lychee and green tea. Will be back for more waffles and ice cream. :))

food are average. sweet potato waffles so so only. pricing consider ex for a place at HDB area. the place is very small and cramped. feel that the ratings are overly rated. unlikely to go back again.

Food was barely average.. The sweet potatoe waffle was soggy and tasted blend.. the chicken was over fried and hard.. The place was filled with smell from the kitchen..

First time going there and i like the atmosphere and love the food especially the waffles. I will definitely go back there, bring more friends along and have more waffles 😊.

Arabiata- good and spic Aglio olio with prawn- can be better Pull pork burger - shredded pork too dry Egg lava burger - good Waffle with ice cream - good Worth it when there is 30%-50% discount

Pasta portion too small but burger was good. Waffles need more improvement

Great food. amazing. We are awed by the quality if the food. Bringing another group of frenz who were attracted by the photos posted on Facebook

Food is quite standard but a bit pricy. A family of 4 can easily spent $100. Waffle ice cream is expensive compared to other restaurants.

I like the ambience and the food there is great! Especially the special Bobo waffle with a sweet potato filling inside which complements well with the salted egg chicken! 👍🏻

Good food good place to eat and value for money. Esp the waffle dessert
